Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani headlined by Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt is all set to release in theatres on July 28. Ahead of the film's release, the Karan Johar directorial was screened in Mumbai and a host of Bollywood's biggest celebrities attended the premiere. While Alia Bhatt turned up with husband Ranbir Kapoor in matching “Team Rocky Aur Rani '' sweatshirts, Ranveer Singh too made an appearance in a white sweatshirt with the same text. However, Ranveer Singh's sister Ritika Bhavnani who attended the screening to support her brother with their parents was not afraid to pick a side. While Ranveer's parents Jagjit Singh Bhavnani and Anju Bhavnani were dressed in all-black ensembles, Ritika's hot pink and blue sweatshirt screamed Team Rocky, making clear her allegiances. Did someone say cute?
While Ranveer Singh's wife, superstar Deepika Padukone, could not make it to the premiere, there was no dearth of star power at the event. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani ensemble cast including Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan attended the screening. While Shabana Azmi arrived with her husband Javed Akhtar, Jaya Bachchan was flanked by her daughter, Shweta Bachchan and son Abhishek Bachchan.
